Default Need some help tackling S3 steering rack rebuild

Hi all, I'm finally tackling my steering rack rebuild in my '84 S3. I have it all blown apart on the bench now and am having trouble locating a replacement seal in my kit for the following component/bore:





Here is the seal that I removed:


Here's what came in the kit, which is FVP 9103 from Rockauto.



I couldn't match up the offending deal with anything in the kit. Are these available separately?

A swing and a miss on the pinion seals. I must have expanded the blue pinion seals too much with the plastic because I wasn't able to get them to contract enough to avoid being nicked.



I have another seal kit on the way. Any tips to prevent the same issue?

Damaged noted on the tube/rack seal, probably during disassembly



Last seal left in the kit...where does it go? Big fat o ring.
